Re: Australian *nix Hosts?

Hi, I stopped searching in Australia and looked over to the US, and am pretty happy with experthost.com (2GB/50meg/20POP starting at US$15/m)... since signing up, I changed over to a reseller account to run multiple domains for clients, and am now paying around US$6.25/m per domain. I know that additional bandwidth is available too. The problem is that AU bandwidth is waaaay expensive. A comparable plan to the above on a reliable, customer service drive ISP in AU is more like AU$50-150/month, and as you know, getting up near 5gb puts the price through the roof. Bandwidth is the US is soooo much cheaper. Unless you have a specificly focused group of Australian users, and are server a lot of large files, or stuff that requires really short ping times (like gaming?), I'd recommend looking overseas... just ensure they have 24/7 support, otherwise you'll have email/support delays and 3am phone calls :) Justin French -------------------- Creative Director http://Indent.com.au -------------------- on 15/04/02 11:31 PM, The_RadiX (the_radix@hotkey.net.au) wrote: > Hi yes I have already read the posts about the hosting questions > > > But as I am in Australia I'd like to know if anyone here has had any dealings > with a good Australian host and any recommendations.. > > > > > Thanks a heap.. > > > P.S.
